Diners will sample everything from a latin-inspired chopped salad (with blueberries, queso fresco, cucumber, tomatoes, basil, corn, avocado, agave lime vinaigrette), to savory crepes (with sweetened ricotta, fresh peaches, and chicken-sage sausage), to a rose yogurt parfait (using local honey from from Wyck House garden). There is a cuisine for every palette, ranging from Latin American to Southern, comfort to cutting edge. Select restaurants will also offer vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. The diverse restaurant scene also has a wide-range of settings, including a colonial home, intimate BYO, outdoor gardens and patios, one-room historic school house – and even a retro 50s diner (complete with a trolley car).
